Nobody, even dealers, ever misread the board. So it may be hard to prove that the player "deliberately" miscalled his/her hand.
But then, I misread my hand once. Thought I made a small straight on the turn. When called on the river, I declared "Straight" and my opponent mucked. I was shocked when I saw I had nothing. Not even a pair. I told the dealer to just give my opponent the pot.

We all appreciate your integrity but for those who aren't so ethical, don't you want a rule in place where they are forced to give up the pot rather than rely on their charity?
Personally, if a player overcalls their hand, causing another player to muck, they should have to give up the pot because they probably have a crap hand and were beaten. I don't care if they did it deliberately or not.
